How to rank your service or product on G2 Crowd.

What affects the ranking?

1. The number of reviews — this one is obvious.
2. Score. In this case, it affects ranking way too much. It’s better to have one 5-star review than two 5-star and one 4-star review. So make sure to get just the positive reviews and you’ll be able to outrank those with more reviews.
   
   
   
   Same star rating, but Savo has fewer negative reviews (and fewer in general) so it somehow ranks higher
3. Diverse market presence — reviews should come from various countries, companies of all sizes, managers, executives, and employees.
4. Individual ratings for various things such as ease of use, and individual ratings from employees of various levels (users, admins). Users have to answer questions related to these as they leave a review.Here’s a breakdown of what counts the most:

What you’ll need to get reviews and rank higher?
All reviews on G2 Crowd are moderated manually. Which means that a G2C employee, reads the review, checks the user profile (to leave a review you must log in with Linked In) and looks for proof of use.

1. A lot of active and aged Linked In profiles. If you don’t have those, and there is no reason why you should, you’ll have to ask real people to leave the reviews. Ask the people you trust, make sure they live in various countries, work for different companies and etc.
2. Provide a screenshot of your service for review. A screenshot is the 2nd most important thing after the LinkedIn profile.
   
   
   
   These icons will appear next to a valid review
   The screenshot should serve as proof that reviewer is actually a user, the best screenshot is of the personal account page, where you can see that product is registered to the same name you see on the LinkedIn page. If this is not possible get screenshots where you can see the log out button, or dashboard, something that only a registered user can see.
   
   
3. Correct answers in the review form. See Individual ratings part on the screenshot with breakdown of what counts. When you leave the review you’ll have to rate some things separately, make sure to put 9-10 star ratings where it counts the most.
